My BFF and I like a lot of the same boys. Now, she says I
need to stop liking certain boys just because she likes them.

Dear Friend,

Try saying something like, “It’s awkward that we like the
same guy, but it means we have excellent taste! Let’s make a pact that if one
of us starts going out with someone, we won’t let it get in the way of our
friendship.” And be sure to talk about other things in your lives besides
crushes.
